Tell me lies about Iraq?

To Whom It May Concern





I was run over by the truth one day.


Ever since the accident I've walked this way


So stick my legs in plaster


Tell me lies about Iraq.





Heard the alarm clock screaming with pain,


Couldn't find myself so I went back to sleep again


So fill my ears with silver


Stick my legs in plaster


Tell me lies about Iraq.





Every time I shut my eyes all I see is flames.


Made a marble phone book and I carved out all the names


So coat my eyes with butter


Fill my ears with silver


Stick my legs in plaster


Tell me lies about Iraq.





I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.


They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains


So stuff my nose with garlic


Coat my eyes with butter


Fill my ears with silver


Stick my legs in plaster


Tell me lies about Iraq.





Where were you at the time of the crime?


Down by the Cenotaph drinking slime


So chain my tongue with whisky


Stuff my nose with garlic


Coat my eyes with butter


Fill my ears with silver


Stick my legs in plaster


Tell me lies about Iraq.





You put your bombers in, you put your conscience out,


You take the human being and you twist it all about


So scrub my skin with women


Chain my tongue with whisky


Stuff my nose with garlic


Coat my eyes with butter


Fill my ears with silver


Stick my legs in plaster


Tell me lies about Iraq.

Tell me lies about Iraq?
Iraq is safe and secure with .04% unemployment and a booming economy inside the ten square mile Green Zone Government...Fox news says so right here in America with Dann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity boasting about all of the wonderful contributions the Republicans have made to their Country in 5 years.

Reply:In Iraq it is customary for boys of a certain age, lets say 12, to take a beetle of a type of his choosing as a pet and name it 'Ernie'. Most boys choose the scarab beetle, however, it is not available. In it's stead they settle for a Beatle. Paul and John are equally popular. Arty intelligent boys go for George. Only infidels choose Ringo. But it doesn't really matter because after the fact they are all named Ernie.


When the boy turns 13 he creates a diorama depicting the boys favorite scene from 'I Love Lucy'. Ernie the beetle is caged in the diorama and the whole thing is set alight in the boys' familes' rumpus room. The family sings a rendition of 'The Boys Are Back in Town' by Thin Lizzy in three part harmony, then extiguishes the diorama remains with a gallon of Tab.


The boy is now declared a man.
